Timing??

[trophywife]

I'm having the hardest time with the timing!! How did you guys manage the time with the date?? For example, ceremony at 11am?? Followed by pictures?? Followed by dinner, dancing, toasting?? Did you guys ever take a break from the wedding?? I remember when I was younger my Uncle got married at 11 am. Then the families took pictures. Then there a break and the bride and groom went out and took their own pictures together for their wedding and the guest just did whatever in the mean time. Then we all meet up at like 6 pm for dinner. How did you guys pick long to eat, dance, toast, etc and the order they came in? I'm having a hard time with this part of the planning because I really want to take pictures of just us two during the day at the beach and also when the sun is setting. But how can I do that when there's dinner going on?! Ideas??
